Lots of good ideas.

In terms of an implementation that is available today, and has a good, simple
ui, it might be worthwhile looking at what gnumeric currently does:

1) It has a single tick box for "eng" formatting in its UI (with a user
definable fixed number of decimal places) as an option on its "Scientific"
formating page

2) It appears to have engineering notation compatibility with excel (I have only
tried limited tests)

I have attached a screen shot of the UI page as
"gnumeric_v1.10.8_ui_engineering_notation_format.png"

So if gnumeric can do this, I can't in principle see why calc cannot do this
today, at least as a large step towards the utopia that all would eventually
like to achieve.
